Hoowu Game Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 I am very curious to see what kind of html5 games could "reach the expectation of the big prizes set" as you tell it.you can check our rule of grading, one thing which is important is that we want developers can released their original work at the first time at Hoowu Games before they released their games to other platform, or at least at the same time. Most of the contest games are already released before they join contest. Strictly they cant win any of the prize because we have rules regarding it, as you can see in open.51h5.com if you can understand Chinese, but, as we said, we want to encourage all developers, so we set up those prizes, hope next time there are some games appear that reach the expectation.

Hoowu Game Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Wasn't the prize $8,000 for first place and a "special award" of $10,000?thats ture. but unfortunately we don't find a game that is good enough to get those big pirze, the reason I already explain to totor.

ozdy Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 What a joke. I'm glad I didn't enter this scam competition. Please stop before they say the response from HTML5 developers was not respectable enough to pay out even their consolation prizes. Even though the prizes are lower than expected, I think they are still decent and would participate in any future contests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoowu Game Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 My Jellyfish Rescue too I think we both know what does "brush tickets" means, why we don't cancel it its because we think Jellyfish Rescue is still a good game, so we give a prize for it and show our respect for developer for their support. Why the prize is not as expected, is because we really cant choose the game qualified enough. Please understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totor Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 @Hoowu Game, i am sorry but could you explain what you mean by "brush ticket" since it's the first time i hear that and google doesn't help. @True Valhalla, lots of contests in usa and europa have a safe guard that allow to suspend, modify or cancel the terms of a contest but you are right, it's pisses of everybody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b10b Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Yes, pretty much every competition has the right to change the rules at any time. But to exercise that right is to abandon good faith - the primary objective for any emerging brand. Surely the cost of the retracted prizes is a lot less than the potential damage to Hoowu's brand? What next for Hoowu's strategy to attract developers to enter into exclusive publishing agreements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, we will host another contest very soon in Next Month. Hope developers can join it and win prize as the first time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
